Golshifteh Farahani, Michael B. Jordan, Kôichi Yamadera, Asia Kate Dillon, and Maisie Williams in Gen: Lock (2018)
In this new season, a war leaves behind only a handful of highly skilled soldiers fighting for the future of humanity as a deteriorating Earth, due to an unstoppable climate collapse, has two distinct visions for the future of the human race: The Polity and the Union. The Polity and the Union remained locked in a brutal and unforgiving war, when, after sustaining devastating injuries, pilot Julian Chase (Jordan) returns from the dead in the form of a Holon warrior, one of a select few whose mind is compatible with the mech-suit GEN:LOCK program. As Dr. Weller (Tennant) works to crack the gen:LOCK code, it's up to Chase, Miranda (Fanning), Cammie (Williams), and their team of intrepid Polity fighters to fend off the authoritarian Union. But as the war rages on, Chase must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything - including friends, family, and his own humanity - to save an increasingly hostile world.

    close to what it feels like to be only able to see the world threw someone else eyes

    Not in the business ..just enjoy the underdog stories..

    Makes an impact

    Strong cast and compelling story. After watching 3 episodes I am still hungry for more. The animation is a feast for the eyes and at the end of each episode I feel like it just started. Can't wait to see this story develop and the world to expand.

    Compelling, Gritty and Fun

    I honestly didn't expect much when I sat down to watch an episode. But boy was I pleasantly surprised. Not only is the story refreshing but you get a chance to understand the characters and what motivates them. The action sequences are beautiful and well done and so is the overall story for the show. 3 episodes in and I'm hooked and can't wait for the 4th episode to drop. Easily one of the best animations right now IMO

    Anime we were waiting for

    I'm just 2 episodes in the serie, and i felt compelled to write a review. Gen: Lock filled a void which was present in animated sci-fi genre. It has emotional depth, intelligent writing, excellent humor (most notably in Dr. Weller and Miguel Garza as comic relief), and likable characters that are wonderfully casted. It feels like a lovechild of Robotech, Ghost In The Shell and XCOM, so what's there not to like?

    Finally a new kind of anime'

    I was looking for something syfy but anime'ish then I found this jem. Finally the anime' is losing its gloppyness . The manga classic style is cool but it's time for change. I'm 3 fps in and login it. It's 9 because the story is great but not original like Cowboy Beebop or Neon Genesis Evangelion but man it's a great watch. A plus is good dialog and almost all great voice acting.

    • Trivia
      In video production, a "genlock" is a device used to synchronize two sets of video signals. The availability of cheap consumer-grade genlock hardware (in the form of the Amiga computer) is what first made fan subtitling of anime possible. The genlock allowed fansubbers to overlay the subtitle video signal on top of the source video signal, then record the subtitled video to a videocassette.
